Freshwater Crawfish Tail Meat from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Notice of Intent to Rescind New Shipper Reviews
The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is conducting new shipper reviews of the antidumping duty order on freshwater crawfish tail meat from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'') in response to requests from Jiangsu Jiushoutang Organisms-Manufacturers Co.

Final Results of Full Sunset Review: Brass Sheet and Strip from France
On April 1, 2005, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') initiated a sunset review of the countervailing duty order (``CVD'') on brass sheet and strip from France pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). On the basis of a notice of intent to participate and an adequate substantive response filed on behalf of the domestic interested parties and an adequate response from respondent interested parties, the Department determined to conduct a full sunset review of this CVD order pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(2). As a result of this sunset review, the Department finds that revocation of the CVD order would not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy. Therefore, the Department is revoking this CVD order.
